I was at smart and final some months ago and the barcode on my steaks wouldn't scan. I told the cashier to just enter it manually and he said, "Not for what they pay me." And put it in my bag for free.
When I was a cashier my store told us that discounts $50 and under I could give out without manager approval to keep people happy. Sometimes people would make that joke and I always found it hilarious to say “no”, manually ring in the item and give them like 10% off their entire order. Their disappointment and change to being elated was so fucking funny to me. I didn’t give a shit since it was a job in college and a huge retailer so id hand out discounts like candy.
My friend came in once just to say hi and i was like “that was nice of you to break up my day, here is 75% off everything” lol. I miss not giving a shit
Unfortunately that was a college job for beer money. I since got my degree and work in an entirely different industry. If i ever am between jobs and am a cashier I will be right back to not giving a shit lol
My best friend worked at a pizza place and my mom called in for an order, two large pizzas or the like, should have been like $20 dollars or more. She went, "ok, thanks Ms. (my last name) your total is $2.89" and hung up. I wasn't even living at home, I was away at college, but she still gave my parents the hook up.
College roommate worked at a pizza place. All I had to do was text message him “pizza please”. And when he got home there would be the largest sized pizza (like mega family size) and the same size box of garlic parm twists. Soooo much food. Depending on how my friends were I’d invite them over to get some. My roommates manager didn’t give a shit lol.
My friend was in a relationship with the manager, which is why she didn't get in trouble. In HS we went by the shop to see when she was off so we could plan when to go bowling, she said give me 5 mins, went to the back and came out 5 mins later and said we can go. Apparently head is enough to get you let go early for the night when you are dating the manager.
